Toyota Camry Engine And Engine Cooling Safety Report | June 07, 2013
Reported on June 07, 2013
| I WAS IN A LINE OF CARS IN THE TAKE-OUT LINE AT BURGER KING WAITING TO PLACE MY ORDER. THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN DRIVE AND MY RIGHT FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I PUT MY LEFT FOOT ALSO ON THE BRAKE, BUT WITH BOTH FEET AND ALL MY STRENGTH FELT THE CAR GOING FORWARD. SO AS NOT TO STRIKE THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I TURNED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT AND PLOWED INTO THE CURB, WENT OVER THE CURB, HIT A LARGE BUSH TRUNK, THROUGH THE BUST, MULCH AND ANOTHER BUST. THE ENGINE RACED OUT OF CONTROL AND COULD NOT BE HELD BY THE BRAKE. | |
